Product Details

The ADF7901 is a low power OOK/FSK UHF transmitter designed for use in RF remote control devices. The device is capable of Frequency Shift Keying (FSK) modulation on eight different channels, selectable by three external control lines. OOK modulation is performed by modulating the PA control line.

The on-chip VCO operates at 2x the output frequency. The divide by 2 at the output of the VCO reduces the amount of PA feedthrough. As a result of this, OOK modulation depths of greater than 50dB are easily achievable.

The FSK_ADJ and ASK_ADJ resistors can be adjusted in the system to optimize output power for each modulation scheme. An additional 1.5dB of output power is provided for the lower bank of channels to adjust for antenna performance.

The CE line allows the transmitter to be powered down completely. In this mode the leakage current is typically 0.1µA.

One of the more evident trends at the recent
Metering Europe 2006 event in Copenhagen
was that both meter manufacturers and
utility companies are placing an increased
emphasis on the use of communication
networks to create added value for
their systems and also to leverage from
infrastructure investment already in place.(Metering International, December, 2006)

Short-range devices (SRD) are radio transmitters that communicate unidirectionally or bidirectionally with little capability of interfering with other radio equipment. They provide many different services, including home automation, wireless alarms, and remote keyless entry.(RF DesignLine, March 07, 2007)

The term “Short Range Device” (SRD) covers radio transmitters which provide either unidirectional or bi-directional communication and which have a low capability of causing interference to other radio equipment. (Microwave Product Digest, July, 2007)

The broad acceptance of standards developed for short range wireless connectivity has been one of the notable features of the semiconductor market in the past few years. The available wireless standards are not always the best fit for the application’s requirements, however. (Analog Dialogue, Volume 42, Number 4 2008)

The metering of electric power coming into the home is going electronic, replacing the long-established electromechanical power-line meter (from the 1890s) with all-electronic smart meters. (RF DesignLine, July 27, 2009)
